I'm writing this as a victim of relentless online harassment and doxxing perpetrated by Austin Forman and AFF on TikTok. My existence on this platform, supposed to be a safe space for creativity and connection, has been soured by these experiences. Daily, I am stalked, harassed, and bullied; my sense of safety crippled by the knowledge that my personal information has been revealed to the cyber-world without my permission, a tactic known widely as 'doxxing'. Austin Forman and AFF are responsible for this crisis and must be held accountable.

TikTok, as a platform that embraces diverse societal dialogues and champions respect among users, should not tolerate this level of abuse. It's not just me, millions of people across the globe experience similar victimization. According to the 2019 Norton LifeLock Cyber Safety Insights Report (NLCSIR), 26% of individuals reported having personally experienced doxxing.

We must lobby TikTok to enforce its Community Guidelines, which clearly state that "behavior that intimidates or harasses other people" will not be tolerated. With this in mind, we're calling for Austin Forman and AFF to be banned from TikTok. This ban will send a strong message to all users that cyberbullying, harassment, stalking, and doxxing are unacceptable behaviors.

Let's stand together and make the internet safe again. Add your name to this petition and let's make a difference!
